Finish Carpenter or Cabinet Installer

Finish work is about fit: gaps, reveals and lines that look right. Robots don't have the eye for it yet. You show how pieces are fitted and fastened in simulation and judge the robot's results.

The work

What carpenters do in simulation.

We build the task in simulation. You show how it is done, correct the robot where it goes wrong and set what counts as done right. Robotics teams train their own models on the result.

01

Demonstrate

Show how you measure, position and fasten a piece such as trim, a cabinet or a door, and how you check it.

02

Correct robot mistakes

Review robot attempts and flag mistakes such as an uneven reveal, a split or a fastener in the wrong place.

03

Set the criteria

Define what a finished, square, flush install looks like for each task.

Who qualifies

  • 5 or more years as a finish carpenter, cabinet installer or millworker

FAQ

Questions from carpenters.

Can carpenters make money training AI?

Yes. This role pays $50–65/hr, depending on experience, for part-time project work on a computer. You demonstrate fitting and fastening tasks and review robot results in simulation. Scope, hours and payment terms are agreed before each project starts.

Are there remote jobs for carpenters?

Site work isn't remote, but this is. Most contributions happen on a computer. Timing and equipment depend on the project and are set out before it starts.

Will robots replace carpenters?

Not any time soon. Real job sites are uneven and nothing is quite square. Robots are learning single steps first, and what they learn is shaped by whoever teaches them.

Do I need robotics or coding experience?

No. Each project gives you the instructions and controls for the task. We need your knowledge of the work.
